Business need

Employee absenteeism can put significant strain on a business in terms of costs. It can also place an additional burden on colleagues, resulting in low morale and loss of productivity. 



Having an attendance policy will help employees understand the standards that are expected of them. It will help managers deal with absence issues in a fair and consistent way and tackle underlying problems such a work life balance, conflict at work or lack of adequate training.
